ABOUT ANDRE

My parents were able to teach me how to sing before they were able to get me to speak words. I started taking classical piano lessons at the age of 7 then continued at the University of Windsor School of Music in Canada. I relocated from Windsor to teach grade 7 & 8 Instrumental Music in Toronto, Canada in 1989. I play and have taught piano, guitar, voice, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments to thousands of kids and hundreds of adults of many ages, cultures, and backgrounds. Pictures of some of my former students can be seen on my pics page with a letter from the school board that I worked for thanking me for my years of service.

I am a composer of my own music. My itunes EP "Andre R. The 1 Man Band" was recently released. 4 original songs and one cover song are completely produced, arranged, and performed by myself. Some of the songs have videos that include me playing guitar, piano, drums, and singing at the same time. They are posted on my youtube channel "The Andre R. Highway" which currently has over 2 million video views internationally (youtube.com/theandrerhighway). Please feel welcome to watch some of my videos on this website. 2 of my songs have won Billboard and Vh1 songwriting awards.

I am also the author of the 2017 released, #1 Amazon bestseller digital and print book, "Music Ear Training Method." The book features my 12 step manual and videos for musicians, beginning and advanced students, teachers, and all who choose to play music of any genre by ear. Music Ear Training Method is currently sold on thousands of websites includingBarnes &Noble, Apple, Kobo, and Inktera.
